Medora mule deer hunt.

Recommended Posts

Our party just got home today from a week of bowhunting mule deer north of Medora, N.D. We went 2 for 4 so we felt that was pretty good being it was our first time out there. We ended up with a 2x2 and a nice 4x4 that had a spread about 25". I spot and stalked to within about 25-30 yards of a nice 25"-27" buck that was at least a 4x4. The only problem was the rise in the ground between us. All I could see was the top of his butt and his rack swiveling back and forth. It was dead calm and I was stuck, if I only would have come in a little bit higher. I was on my tippy toes trying to get enough height to clear the rise but at 6'02" I must be too short! LOL The guys gave me dump saying I shoulda' been 2-3 inches taller and I would've probably had a shot. We saw on average about 30-50 mule deer and day, with 3-5 good bucks (4x4 or better) spotted every day. This was on private land that the owner only allows archery hunting. A guy from Wisconsin shot an awesome 5x5 last Saturday and by the looks of the pics, it'll score well into Pope and Young. The south unit of the Teddy Roosevelyt park is a must see!

BMC...could you post some contact info for the private party where you hunted? I'd be interested in that hunt next year. Did you stay on his place or in town or at a campground? Also, what does a non-resident N. Dak. license cost?

Thanks, Polar Bear

    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
    • The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
    • It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
    • We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity. 
    • I've been out on the flats. It's like being on a different planet
